Ancient kid's tricycle / Triciclo de criança antigo


This adorable ancient kid’s tricycle all made of iron, is outside of a little toy museum in the island of Suomenlinna, in Helsinki, Finland. In the museum, displayed inside of glass door cabinets are ancient dolls, doll’s house furniture and other ancient toys. Inside the museum is not allowed to take photos. So, I am very glad that this tricycle was outside, because I must confess it was my preferred piece.

Este adorável triciclo antigo de criança, todo em ferro, está à porta de um pequeno museu de brinquedos na ilha de Suomenlinna, em Helsinquia, Finlândia. No museu, dentro de armários com portas de vidro encontram-se bonecas antigas, mobílias de casa de bonecas e outros brinquedos antigos. Dentro do museu não é permitido tirar fotografias. Assim, ainda bem que este triciclo estava no lado de fora, pois devo confessar que foi a peça que eu gostei mais.

PEACE Bia!
I remember when we're kids, we tried making wooden bike or scooters. Find some hardwood in the bush and fashion them into wooden toy bike. We also make home made toys made of discarded tin cans, used sleepers and cut lumbers. I remember doing it myself, we dont really buy toys when I was a kid. We make childish toys from trash. How I wished kids today would be taught how to make one and develop it into something special...Thnx and GBU!

It is true. Right now kids have so many sophisticated toys that they lost a little bit that creative side of imagining a toy from some little nothing or to give value to a simple rag doll. But the good thing is that sometimes among all that sophisticated toys they prefer the simple ones. That makes you think if they do not really need that space for imagination...
